Transfer Rumours: Thursday July 22, 2010

In today's press scan, news reports from the Turkish and International press linking Fenerbahçe with transfer moves for Asamoah Gyan, Guillaume Hoarau, Bafétimbi Gomis, Robinho and others. Please note that Fenerbahçe Worldwide does not confirm any of the following transfer rumours.

The following transfer rumours were linked in Turkish and International media, although each is pure speculation unless the club issues an official statement. We do not hold any of the rumours to be truth.

Fenerbahçe Worldwide will publish one article of transfer rumours per day (as long as there is demand), and the list will be updated throughout the day as more are reported. Please check the article periodically for updates.

According to Sabah, Gyan has told French sports radio RMC that he is currently on holiday and has to talk with Rennes officials before deciding on his future. While Vatan reports that Fenerbahçe have shook hands with Rennes for Gyan's transfer, the same report includes quotes from a representative of the French club stating they have no intentions of selling Asamoah Gyan to Fenerbahçe. Habetürk and Fanatik claim that negotiations are ongoing between the two clubs and the transfer can finalize in the next two days.

Meanwhile, various sources in the Turkish press cite a report in Le Parisien which suggests that Fenerbahçe have targeted Paris Saint-Germain striker Guillaume Hoarau. The Yellow Canaries are rumoured to have the 26-year-old goal scorer as a back-up for Asamoah Gyan and rumours are that they have already made the French club an offer. However, Bundesliga side Schalke 04 is also reported to be interested in the player.

Habertürk and Fanatik also rumour that Fener are keeping tabs on Olympique Lyonnais striker Bafétimbi Gomis. The Yellow Canaries have reportedly contacted officials from the French club and have received a positive response for the transfer. The French-born Senegalese striker netted the goal ten times last season for Olympique Lyonnais.

Lastly, Turkish daily Sabah claims that Fenerbahçe and Beşiktaş are bidding against each other for Manchester City star Robinho, currently on loan at Brazil's Santos. Rumours are that a representative for Fenerbahçe has met with Robinho's agent and has received a green light for the transfer. Istanbul rivals Beşiktaş have also been linked with the player and are said to be monitoring the situation very closely.

None of the names mentionned above are gonna happen...I beleive the player to leave this sumtmer is Guiza and the coming is Sercan Yildirim becuase Aykut said he will sign a young,fast and Turkish forward which is Sercan at the moment!

No way sercan will come, he will be in Bursasport because of champions league,

Robinho would be a good addtion to this team and so Bafétimbi Gomis the next drogoba in my opinion,

Guys we have to give full credit to AYKUT KOC' His transfer policy is fantastic, look at all the players we good since he has been with us, ANDRES DOS SANTOS, BARONI, STOCH, DIA.. THESE GUYS ARE YOUNG AND FANTASTIC PLAYERS, BRAVO TO AYKUT REALLY BRAVO.. HE IS BRININGING SPECIAL YOUNG TALENT TO THIS TEAM.. WE DNT WANT OLD PLAYERS WE NEED YOUNG FAST AND EXPOLSIVE PLAYERS,

lol at the PRINCE AYKUT THE TRANSFER MAGICIAN. Don't trick yourself into thinking he actually manages the transfers himself. Any sane manager would be dumping Bilica and Guiza whilst building the back line with decent players and backups. Instead it's a goalkeeper, a defender from a crap team and constant rumours of ATTACKING MIDFIELDERS and STRIKERS.

Here is another name that Fener should be all over it but it does not even make the rumor list. Boughera of Rangers and Algeria. Every game at the world cup, he was praised as the best defender yet his price tag is reasonable, however we don't hear anything about it.

From what i saw in the world cup of gyan, he is nothing special, maybe he plays better in club football. However for his club he has scored 14 goals in 50 games. So he gets just over a goal per every 5 games.

It says Fener is offering in the region of 13 million. With that sort of money Fener was able to buy spains top scorer, despite not performing. Surely we can get someone better.

Semih has a better overall record too for a player that spends most of his time on the bench.

In fact even Guiza has better club record for Fener with 22 goals in 65 games. So he kinda scores a goal every 3 games.

its hard to think Robinho will come to Turkey for anything besides vacation. However, if Robinho did come his speed along with the fast paced and deadly accurate Stoch would make a winning combination like Kaka and Ronaldo. But obviously not that great. Still amazing for the Turkey's Premier League.
